| Rockin Meera: Music Review 05 Nov, 2009 12:00 am ISTl INDIATIMES MOVIES Music: Will Storkson, Satish-Ajay Lyrics: Param Gill, TQ, Anand Merchant Singers: Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan, TQ, Param Gill, Tatayana Ali Rating: Rockin Meera is a musical comedy starring Sonu Sood and Nauheed Cyrusi in lead roles along with TQ, a popular singer from Alabama. Written and directed by Param Gill, the film is shot in San Francisco and Rajasthan. Rockin Meera features a hip hop fusion soundtrack composed by Will Storkson ( Lost in Translation ) that takes off the gangsta rap to the confluence of Indian Ragas. ‘ Kabaddi Rap ’ sung by director Param Gill is an Indo-Western fusion which opens with kabaddi chants like the one used in the popular Indian sport. It fuses the kabaddi chant in a rap style rendition by Gill to give a groovy start to the album. TQ, the male lead who plays a hip-hop singer in the film gives the Kabaddi Rap his own touch in the track titled ‘Game’. He rightly plays around in Game to give it a more English flavour as compared to the original track. The jugalbandi between the guitar and rapping deserves a special mention. The same track appears in an instrumental version by Will Storkson. Shaan sets the mood for a bhangra number with his husky singing in ‘ Laila ’. Param Gill shifts from singing to writing the lyrics of this track that’s ably composed by Satish-Ajay. TQ teams up with Tatyana Ali in the love song ‘Sunny Valentine’ that has a lounge feel to it. Anand Merchant and TQ write this English number composed by Will Storkson. The instrumental version of the same track makes for a very soothing hear. ‘Illusive Rain’ plays in two versions, one sung by Sukhwinder Singh and another by Sunidhi Chauhan. Dominated with alaaps and raags , this one has an Indian classical flavour to it. Sukhwinder clearly has a better hold when it comes to classical singing though Sunidhi too does a decent job in the female version. Interestingly the album comes to an end with the title track ‘Rockin Meera’ that’s an instrumental theme piece. There couldn’t have been a better way to conclude an album like this. Rockin Meera certainly lives up to its name in coming up with a rocking soundtrack. Strongly recommended! Read the full article here |
